A vertiginous climb up to a small cave. Just when I was feeling proud having made it--with dust on all appendages and a scraped knee--three Mennonite ladies in unscathed long dresses arrived! I would have loved to have photographed them but I don't think they would have relished the attention.

State highway 36 climbs through Emigration Canyon to a summit above Strawberry Spring, Idaho. The trees on the ridge above the road had a beautiful coat of new snow.
Three vintage EMD's (plus one dead in tow) power Columbia Basin's climb up the hill from Connell, wrapping around this tight S-curve just before the grade begins to level out. These SD9's (and one SD19) aren't the only relics in the photo, as the remnant of a lone telegraph pole can be seen on the right. The terrain in this part of Washington felt almost alien compared to the western half of the state where we spent most of our trip.

A black Five comes away from Loch Trieg and heads towards Corrour, not a patch on Bob Green's masterpiece but as good as I'm ever going to get

I'm working with the remaining crust from a loaf of bread that I baked yesterday. I like how it looks like a rocky mountain. Making quick work, I put a composition together. It's a bit simplistic but I prefer the less is more approach. Using the same figures is challenging but limitations are good for creativity.
This photo shows the rock climbing building on the University of Alberta campus.
What I see is a visual representation of growing up. We started out without reason climbing trees for fun. Now we find ourselves on our path at university, climbing walls.

"When the Mexican American War began General John S Williams took command. At the battle of Cerro Gordo (Mexico) he led the troops in a victory over Mexican troops. He took the nickname of "Cerro Gordo" Williams. After the battle, he returned to Illinois and settled in Bement. About the same time (1855) the people of the town of Griswold chose to move the town from the stagecoach line along the river to the path of the Great Western Railroad. The town was platted by Sheridan Wait and Henry Durfee. "Cerro Gordo" Williams was one of the citizens, as they had other citizens that fought in the battle of Cerro Gordo, they selected the name Cerro Gordo."
Hmmm, I always wondered.
Me at the summit of Carn an t-Sagairt Mor (yes I drag my camera equipment, including tripod, up there!).. Behind me can be seen the summit of Cairn Bannoch, which I'm aiming for to get my second (and last) Munro of the day. Beyond that is Broad Cairn, but i've done that on an earlier expedition, so no need for it today!
Carn an t-Sagairt Mor (pronounced Carn an Tackersht Vole - or something close) is at a height of 1037 meters (3402 feet) and Cairn Bannoch stands at 1012 meters (3320 feet), so an easy days climbing .. yeah, right!!
